At Patna's Gandhi Ghat, the Ganga has crossed the danger mark and is flowing close to its Highest Flood Level (HFL), triggering heightened vigilance by the state government and the Disaster Management Department. Authorities have issued alerts and stepped up monitoring in vulnerable areas.

He instructed officials to alert residents in vulnerable areas and ensure prompt preventive measures wherever required. District-level teams deployed for flood management have been asked to conduct continuous patrolling and monitor sensitive locations. Following the review meeting, Chaudhary said the Ganga had surpassed its previous peak level, crossing the highest mark recorded in 2016 at around 10.30 a.m. on Saturday. He said officials had been stationed at vulnerable points and that the administration was fully prepared to tackle any emergency.

The Ganga remains above the danger level at Digha, Gandhi Ghat, Hathidah, Bhagalpur, Kahalgaon, Buxar and Munger, while the Gandak has crossed the danger mark at Dumaria Ghat and Hajipur.
